A Serialization Graph Construction for Nested Transactions
Summary: Provides a serialization-graph proof technique for nested transactions enabling classical-style reasoning while proving the robust “user view” correctness. Applies it to verify Moss’s nested read/write-lock algorithm and a new undo-logging scheme, while making implicit classical-theory assumptions explicit. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
